MTG Stuff

So loyal followers. Or at least I hope you are. Is there anything you would like to see me try with this blog.

While I enjoy the re blogging and all, I would very much prefer to be creating at least some of the  content on here.

Is there anything you find lacking on tumblr or in general from the Magic community?

So there was lots of pretty artwork released recently for the next set Theros. Really excited for the it I love the artwork for the set.

I know I am a little late to the part. There is a video of the panel in which they show the artwork and I have a link below but I think the set it gonna be pretty cool.

I am really exited for the pre-release though I know that I will not be able to take part in it myself. So when it come to it I will be looking to you guy to tell me how it goes. 

Anyways here's the Link

So thoughts

So I have been thinking about the game of magic a lot lately, what with the release of Gatecrash coming and all (Really excited about the Dimir mechanic, with Simic being a close second). And the thought has struck me, that once again I probable won't be able to get all that many cards from the set just like with Return t Ravinica, what with me being a poor student and all.

But what it has made me think about is the fact that I really miss posting to this blog. So I have decided to try and get back to it, I have no idea how many people care about this blog, but I for one enjoyed it, so there is that. I doubt I will be able to get time to listen to as many as of the podcast as I did in the summer, I'm even behind on Mark Rosewaters one, which I will say is awesome if you have any interest in games design or the history of magic.

So what will I post, well as before alters, whatever articles I get time to read, and what ever else I see of interest to do with magic.

So when will this all start up again (ahh who am I fooling, no one is asking that, silly boy). Well if you do happen to be, it will start shortly after I finish my winter exams which should be around the tenth of the month. I won't post until then, that may give me time to gather a few things up, give me a nice back log. 

Til  next post.

Edit --

P.S If you have any questions you would like to ask, well feel free, if you don't want it answered publicly, no problem. If I get a question i find inappropriate I will ether ignore it, or reply in a non public way.

Return on Investment Part 1

So an article by Mark Rosewater. Yes I do happen to really enjoy his articles. But I bet you never would have guessed that.

So today he begins his preview story of Return to Ravnica, it goes though the memebers of design, how and why they were picked. Also how the guilds for the set were picked. There is more to come in his column next week which I will be waiting for with high hopes, which Mark never lets me down on.

The article.

A Changing Landscape

So with Zac Hill having left Wizards, his article slot has been left free, and the other developers, knowing that none of them would be able to come up with a weekly topic and discuss it well enough to make each of them worth reading, they have decided to share the slot.

So the first article to come from it is by developer Dave Humpherys. In the article he introduces him and go a little into life as a developer, he talks about the way he likes to play and the type of cards he likes to play with.

I enjoyed the article and I hope him and his fellow writers do the column justice.

The article.

Return to Ravnica.

So I seem to be a little slow to put it out there, but just in case someone following hasn't see it, Return to Ravnica has started to be spoiled on DailyMTG.

I hope you are all excited as I am for this, I have been considering which guild I am gonna go with and as of now it is between two right now.

Weeks and Weeks

Whats this yet another episode of FNM Hero, so are ye enjoying them as much as I have. I hope so, or at least that at least one person is.

As you may know, our good hero finally cashed at a FNM last week, for his very first time since starting the FNM hero series. A moment of which he was very proud of himself. Can he repeat that performance and cash again, or can he improve upon that. Will his luck improve, will he be able to work his way up to the top with his Pod deck?

Find out..But not here, but though the link below

Modern Mastery: The Journey Begins

So Scotty, from The 'Eh' Team, has started a series of articles that will lead up to GP Toronto. The goal of the series is to get his play level up enough to day two the event. I have read the article part of this weeks article.

He is has video coverage of him playing the deck to go with it, which I think is a really cool idea. I haven't gotten time to watch the video portion of it just yet but am hoping to find the time each week to watch it. Know Scotty from listening to his podcast, the video content should be good and entertaining and will hopefully be instructive as well.
